So i just want to clarify with the owners of the new e-tec, i been hearing there not getting the rating hp wisr that doo intially thought and the 163+ hp is just a myth, now i know its hear say and that's not something one should go on, but a couple of buddies of mine who have them say brp is blowin smoke up everyones ass with the # 163 and that it not any better then the 09s? Any option is welcome, but honest don"t tell me there great just because u love doo"s, i was thinking bout upgrading just want to hear thoughts.

buddy of mine from Helena has one and he says it is very compareable to his (good running) 860 that he rode last year

i honestly dont think they make any more hp than the ptek because ive spent alot of time on both. but whats a few ponies even if it did thats not where the advangages are.

So which sled pulls the hardest?
The Ski-Doo Freeride with its all-new 800 E-Tec engine. Second is a dead tie between the Assault, with its new two-injector Cleanfire 800, and the HCR, with the proven 800 Suzuki twin.


Copied and pasted from snowest magazine which can be downloaded for free today. Although i really do not care what has more power.

I rode a 2011 E-Tec demo on Sunday. It had a Straightline Performance Pipe but otherwise was stock. The sled had ~200km on it when I left the parking lot. I was Very impressed with this sled. Having come off my 08 860 BB the day before I had a true comparison. I'm not saying the E-Tec pulled harder than the big bore but it certainly gave it a run for it's money. Add that to the narrow front end and you can pretty much guarantee that they'll be a 2012 in my garage come November. I felt more at home on the E-Tec in 2 hours than I ever had on my 08, so much so that my riding buddies even noticed.

Which sled is the lightest?
The Polaris Assault, thanks to a 40-pound diet from its 2010 version. Here are the wet weights (full of fuel and oil, carrying a spare belt and OEM-supplied tool kit):
Polaris Assault 800: 548 lbs.
Arctic Cat HCR 800: 556 lbs.
Ski-Doo Freeride 800: 577 lbs.
Which sled has the biggest footprint?
The Ski-Doo Freeride. It has a 16x154-inch track, with 2.25-inch lugs.
The Polaris Assault runs a new, longer 15x155-inch track for 2011 with 2.125-inch lugs. It’s still the stiff Competition track lug.
Arctic Cat’s HCR has a 15x153-inch track with 2.25-inch lugs, and for 2011 it’s been changed to an 85 durometer compound, down from 90 duro in 2010.

They're all pretty comparable with power. As long as it holds together who cares?

My etec has so much Power, and weighs so Little that the Tunnel Just twists Under Throttle.

This weekend we rode out in Revy. Our group had an 08, 09, and 2 11's. The one day I got to ride each of these on the same bowl back to back. I found that between the 08 and 09, the handling had a pretty big difference in handling and no difference in power.....ofcoarse. But between those and the 2011 is night and day in my opinion.
Powerwise Id say the 11 pulls harder but its not a huge difference. The throttle pull is way lighter and the power is much more predictable. The hugest difference is rthe handling. This sled is a blast and you can lay it over and sidehill all day long.
The only complaint so far is that it seems to stumble in the midrange once in a while??????? weird. Also starts Way easier.
Cheers

My etec definitely pulls harder than my 09. Both 163's. The 09 had a dynaport pipe and Y - pipe. That means it should have had 160hp. In any case the etec pulls harder. I guess there not too far out saying 163.

It only gets better..
